I know. Two week's in a Song-ography row, where I have featured my Things. I promise this isn't going to turn into "Thing-ography". But Thing #3 was kinda happy this past week. Like..."hot air balloon that could go to space" kinda happy. If music has charms to soothe the savage beast, then you just have no idea it's miracle powers on a drama queen temperamental teen. State Chorus in the state capital. High school musical performances, "Into the Woods" (Team Rapunzel here). It's been a week of HAPPY. And when Thing #3 is happy, well I'm happy too. So happy, I'd sing about it. But then again...why diminish Thing #3's happy equation?

(Thing #3 is in the second photo. So as not to embarrass her, I'm not going to specifically point her out. But...she is short. She is on the right. She is peaking over the shoulders of a couple of tall guys. She looks happy.)

Next week's Song-ography is full to the brim with possibilities for interpretation and creativity. I say that, yet I have no freakin' idea what I'm gonna do with it...

"Photograph"

Nickelback

You know what makes ME "happy"? Seeing everyone who stops in and leaves comments. Seeing everyone who joins in by linking up. Visiting every one's blogs. Being inspired and motivated with every one's interpretations and creativity. So THANK YOU..."because I'm happy".

I was in the choir in high school. This brings back happy memories for me. Music has always been a part of my life. I'm a firm believer it can soothe many things. Love seeing all the happy faces here along with Thing 3.No apologies needed for sharing what's dear to your heart. Have a happy week!

I heard this song again this morning....I don't know how anyone could "not" like it, though I could use one less verse. All State definitely is something to be happy about and an accomplishment. I hope Thing #3 will continue to enjoy music through out her life. There was a poster I had in my classroom when I taught music...it pictured a simple bird on the ground, maybe a robin, and said "if you can't teach me to fly, teach me to sing".You're allowed a few "thingographys" especially with that last thing about to make your nest a bit emptier. Happy day!

Your lovely daughter is glowing with joy. And all the kids do look happy! Music can do that, and it's great to see these kids enjoying themselves in their music community. And when your daughter is happy, you are happy -- that is a truth of life :)

Yeah, I see her. And even though I don't see you, I see the look on your face when you saw her there - all those see of faces, but as parents we just see the one, and smile big. Hope your week is going ok, Renee.
